I know a full grown adult that does that in every election. Local elections, sure, I can understand, but he does that with all of them, Basically a card carrying communist that’s a useful idiot for right wing politicians.

The only thing you’re interested in is showing how much of a bigger person you are on the internet. What we’re doing is speaking about all the ways this is fucked up and hypotheticals about how it can go wrong. For a lot of us, this isn’t new. I my political life time alone, I saw 8 years of rights being eroded by the Bush II administration with no real push back and once Obama got in under the promise of fixing things, a whole lot of inaction on rolling back any of the rights violations.

The powers that be are taking advantage of how distributed the responsibilities of government are. If it’s so easy to lose rights, why is it so hard to gain them back. There’s always someone else to point at for why that is the case. In Nazi Germany, that was called The Banality of Evil. I see that everyday when some injustice is hand waved away as being too ingrained to do anything about. Police Reform? Too hard. Effective Climate Action? It would hurt the economy. The SC is eroding our rights? Have to wait for someone to die or retired(lol).

Sure. Why not? It’s not like the next R in office wont do exactly that anyway.

Yeah, that’s the real story. They’re dragging out museum pieces. People who have been anticipating the T34 showing up are getting real excited.

oh, I know people don’t care.

That’s probably why I never got a Signal account. Normally, I would point to FireChat, but that was discontinued. Looks like Mesh.im is a replacement? I’ll have to look more into it. Encrypted, p2p, and mesh connections via LAN means it can’t be shutdown if the internet gets restricted during protests.

are you going to get everybody you meet to learn PGP.

When the alternative is to risk getting sent to the front line as a bullet sponge, yeah. Then again, any lgbt people practicing proper infosec isn’t going to be visible to surveys like this.

Sound simpler to just use Signal or an encrypted email.

That only works to avoid creeps online. A government would have the resources to track down the paper trail of who bought the burner.

The complexity does no necessity locking diagnostic code away from consumers or small shops. The complexity does not necessity creating increasingly granular parts that don’t work between close models. The “improvements” are often just marketing hype or incremental nonsense. The infotainment centers on cars are a great example.

Telegram requires a phone number. That’s a none starter for me. There’s a huge number of services that don’t. This might as well be a honey pot for trapping more lgbt people. Russia has used dating services before in their crackdowns.

I’m unsure about some of the talents at MSM since it was claimed that they may have a blacklist and the CEO, Seth may be power tripping and gaslighting the smaller talents while treating the big ones with kid gloves to keep them in the company.

When the accusations were first brought up, Seth put out a tweet explaining that they don’t have a blacklist, but do have a list of other streamers who are considered high risk. Which sounds a hell of a lot like a blacklist and comes across as some logic fallacy I don’t know the name up. Basically redefining words to sidestep an accusation. “I haven’t done X because that’s not what X means.”

There’s also some problematic tweets the CEO made when he was 21 and probably contributed to f1nn5ter leaving and while he wasn’t specific to exactly why, LordAethelstan also left after hearing about the accusations and vetting things on his end. Supposedly Seth was also shit talking Mythic, which his girlfriend works with, so that alone would be enough if he could verify it.

I’m using “safe” language here because this is still an emerging story, but going by the response from MSM supporters, they look guilty as hell of something.

Adam Something is pretty good. Sometimes he gets finer details wrong, but overall, he’s worth watching.

Obligatory Fuck EA.

I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want.

They want more guns and bullets. I wonder why?

Or Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.

Giving concessions to Nazi Germany is how the world let WWII happen in the first place. Russia has been allowed to fuck around for far too much. They should have been stopped when they invaded Georgia. Letting them have parts of Ukraine will only give them time to regroup and possibly invade either Ukraine again or some other nation.

before I was comfortable with Crimea or other parts of Eastern Ukraine joining Russia.

Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?

Funny. I have a pretty good idea of what you think imperialism is.

Found it.

Speaking off cooling and piss, I once saw a streamer experiment with cooling a pc with his piss. Well, I’m saying it was his piss. For ToS reasons, he made it clear he couldn’t say it was his piss. It was ill-conceived and he couldn’t get far enough to actually do a benchmark test.

Now that I’m home, I can find the post I’m remembering.

oh, no. It’s much older then reddit. It was an old Slashdot post from 2009.

After a lifetime of committing fraud and other crimes. He should have been prosecuted at least as far back as the 80’s.

Mini’s are fairly durable, but the spring in built into the device. With Micro, the spring is part of the cable and is cheaper to replace.
